mizer67 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I recently picked up a Shadow after shooting Glocks. I have a fairly high grip and bigger hands. For those of you with similar anatomy, how do you position hands so your strong hand thumb is on the safety and still avoid getting your thumb smacked with brass after each round fired?

gunguru Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 If he's not LH, he have verrrrryyyyy long thumbs, or a very strange grip position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 he's got to be left handed. only thing i can think of is learning to curl your thumb down below the ejection port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer67 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Yes, I'm left handed. Sorry. Is there any way to tune the ejector to throw the brass upwards at a higher angle on exit? I can't curl my thumb down enough to not get smacked and still ride the safety, even if I change my support hand grip.

burningsquirrels Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 ok... only thing i can think of is to learn to curl your support hand thumb down a little bit? got a picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer67 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Will take a pic, I don't have one now and am not in position to take one. However, it's not my support hand thumb that's getting whacked with brass, but rather the knuckle of my strong hand thumb. I can't curl it down any more as the top of the thumb safety is in the way.
